Old Michigan still the Strongest Gasser.
II. I. Gentleman, of Washington, Pa,
on whose farm the old Michigan gaSser is
located, denies that the well has ceased
producing. Since being cleaped out a few
month ago he says it has been showing as
strong a pressure as ever and is yet the
strongest we'll in the field. The only
thing to be complained of is that the gas
is little wet" because of a leak The
DIR. McCarl well, he also stated, ceased
flowing over two months ago, but whether
from the accumulation of salt below
the casing or exhaustion, lie was not pre-
pared to say. From the conduct Of the
Michigan and Others of the older groups,
however, the natural suppositiOn is that
the McCarl simply needs better treatment.

4 MEMORY,

How strange that our briet lives are rounded
By"t trihes light as air"
That a touch OF the past can awaken
The pangs OF an Old despair.
just now, in moment idle.
l found where for years II had lain,
Something that made my cheek paler,
A something that woke the Old pain.
Twas only knot OF blue ribbon
That once she had worn IN her hair,
And ths past swiftly came to my memory,
with a face that was witchingiy fair.
All. we'll recall the last evening,
When at Easter We danced at tho ball,
How We hoated away with the music,
MID the glittering crash IN the hail.
Floated. ana fioatsd. and fioated-
She with deep violet eye
Loving. and dreaming. and dancing,
Yielding to music and sighs.
TIL Tired we sat by the flowers
Grouped high round the walls OF the room
But never once needed their fragrance
Her breath was to me all perfume.
When at parting she gave me this ribbon,
Which she gsyly attached 10 my breast.
Have trust. my old sweetheart" she mur-
INJURED,
"And know that love you the best"
Was II strange implicitly trusted
Was II strange that she sought TO deceive
Man forever 10 trusting in woman
You have read the old story of Eve.
Years passed ere met my old charnsr,
Ana fatu was doing her best
To ruin the pockets OF boobies,
| And was fool like the rest,
Loos ing down from my scat on the fashion.
Displayed in the DIVIDED parquette,
| happened to spy my old darling,
| And our eyes accidentally met
\ She was cool as the snow on Mount Shasta,
| And gave the conventional smile,
I hen spoke TO her big W hiskerd husband,
Who appeared half asleep ali the white.
| Yes. now she has money ana diamonds,
And servants TO start at her call,
| And have this knot of blue ribbon,
Ana dream when We danced at the ball.

Dieu merci, we do not have to worry over"
There was one game In particulsr that
pleased the Americans immensely, La

takes pusitiun In q base marked by lines on
the ground aud large enough TO hold al the

and folding his hands announces In loud
voice that he In about 10 leave camp.
He then rushes at the crowd Of players and
tries To touch one with bis clasped hands,
while they evade him by running and dode.

ndkerchiefs, and m soon m one 10 touched

striking hard, but never In the face, and be

Ing through II when oornersd, nsfore the end
f,ut athletic games are not In great favor
among the French boys, and :hey appeared
tn take greater pleasure In anything with an
element OF chance Involved. They reJoiced
In marbles, and particularly In the pyramid.
A boy would build apyramid OF marbles,
choosing his ground carefully, and marking
"a line at short marble range Then he
would offer the pile to any one who could
shoot the pyramid from the marked line, he
TO capture All marbles that missed.
Though threefiiths Of the boys at this
school had little or no intercourse with the
outside world, and the remaining two.hfths
only passed the night at homo, yet every
change OF popular sentiment was instantly
reflected In the games. One dsv the cries
would all be, yive i Emperenr " and the
next they would be, "vive Ia France ~ but
the latter were slv.ys .ha loudest and most
cheerful. In spite of Its martial giamor the

In ali his writings, 40 far as | remember, an

complain Of the present, aud praise the past,

sion THAT there is no door to the gr eat mys

yet 1t does not much discourage or cast him

he wisely and bravely concludes
"Yet better keep IT, after all,

WHAT seems to me decidedly the truest
and most just estimate OF Tennyson's poem
IL that found in the Sunday SchOot Times,
and written, l think l may venture to say,
by Prof. Richardson, OF whose peculiar abil-
ity ~ q fair and fearless critic l wrote last
week. Let me quote it then read the poem
over again, II you have p ,tience enough, and
think you VIII agree with me that this hon
est critic voices pretty nearly what will be
the verdict OF posterity. Al any rate one can
see that his opinion, unlike the iadepend
enfs, Ia not /" for revenue only" He says !:
" Locksley Hall Sixty Years After Is rugged
where its phototype WAS smooth It Is care
less,y written, and its occasional ethical ut
terapces are counterbalanced by surly and
| unphilosophic pessimism. II any defender
| OF the poem could be found, aud should
claim that 1t 10 strictly dramatic, the reply at
once occurs that the dramatic element in the
tirst Look kslsy Hall WAS purposely made the
vehicle for the poets personal thoughts and
| hopes why may not we presume that the
Identity OF title similarly Indicates his per.
| sonal purpose In the later poem The inter
nal and external faults OF the poem are exsg.
| Kerated by Its windy yerbosity. A poet may
be pardoned for occasional failures, or for his
lack OF dramatic power, and OF any sense OF
his own limitations and he may be pitied
for the waning strength of age but when he
becomes his own parodist, and grows cynica
and misanthropic at time sf life when othel
poets have been serenest and most winsome
the spectacle 10 sad indeed. These are plain
words, but II critics a. not tell the truth
how shall poetry be kept on Its true height p
| WHAT q relief II is TO turn IRON the sal
sight OF an old man taithless In humanity, ,
AMI therefore dethroned from the high offic,
OF " truth.telltr," TO the productions of ou
Oldest American poets. There is no wsaks
ing to be seen or felt, for instance, in tn
latest poem OF our :" good old Quaker poet,
L anti lad Al h..,
printed In the February number OF the Al
| tdntic Monthly, In as full OF " sweetness an,
light" ~ radiant with hope, and gracefully
] serene, ~ anything he has written within III

THERE have within the last few months
been some striking, not TO say ludicrous,
examples given OF the dangers attend Ing the
system Of Journalism which for the sake OF
variety and comprehenslveness risks indi-
viduaiity, character, and consistency. 1t 10
no doubt . good thing for = paper to have
many editorial writers but their writings
